We had a delightful evening at Porch and Parlor! Blake, our server, was truly exceptional—attentive to every detail, consistently keeping our table free of dirty dishes. He was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also friendly and engaging, which added to the experience. The food was outstanding; the chicken was incredibly moist, and the sides we chose—lobster mac and cheese and loaded au gratin potatoes—were absolutely delicious. It was a perfect date night, and we can’t wait to return!
